Chapter 4. The Devilukean Goes to School! Part I
Haruna Sairenji currently is worried
Yesterday, her friend, Riko Yuuki was not present in school, and until now there no news or words about her
Riko is not one who goes absent from to school, even if she not look like it but she pretty much diligent in her study... Well, maybe not as diligent as her, she actually a bit tomboyish and love reading action manga sometime -many time actually- but she still have her own reputation as one of the smartest girl in their class
She already tried to contact her home through cell phone just in case but not get any respond, and that make her worried further
Not just that but Shirou also not come to school.
Riko not present in the school is a bit confusing but not that much, maybe she have something to take care of. But Emiya-kun is something else, the man always go to school. His present record is perfect and there never once black mark exist in there
Which is very strange now that suddenly he goes absent like this and Riko also can't be contacted
"Sairenji-san."
Haruna broken from her musing when familiar voice call her, she turn away from the window and found herself staring at her fellow class representative
"Kotegawa-san?" Haruna blinked her eyes once "What can I do for you?"
The long black haired girl face was stoic, contrast to Haruna who polite and serene "I want to ask something."
"Yes?"
"Have you seen Emiyai-san? He was not in school yesterday."
"Ah." Haruna put slight troubled face "No, I have not see Emiya-kun until now."
"Is that so... Then how about Yuuki-san?"
"Same thing. As matter of fact, I had been tried to contact her yesterday but there no response from her."
Now Yui also put troubled face, concern was clear in her eyes despite she try to hide it "That very troubling." She glanced at the clock nearby and noted it almost time for the class to start. She turned back to Haruna "Can you tell me if Emiya-san come? I have something to talk with him."
Haruna about to answer yes but paused, her eyes narrowed slightly and her lip curled down a bit "Kotegawa-san... You did not intent to call Emiya-kun to do something again, aren't you?" She asked in disapproving manner
It wasn't secret that Shirou is very helpful in school activity, such as fixing machine, cleaning some club activity mess and such things. He did not do that because he forced to, but he offer them his help. He never complain or protest, and because of that many started to ask for his help and use him to clean some mess that they made
Shirou is kind, but he's being too kind in Haruna opinion. It was admirable and noble trait, one that she very respect and like, but seeing other students often taking advantage of his kindness, it make the purplette feel upset
Yui eyes narrowed back, and for moment Haruna actually see the raven haired girl glared at her but it only for very short time as her look covered and she back to her stoic facade
"No, I do not intent to ask help from Emiya-san." Yui answered "I want to talk him about the heater he fixed, the principal agree that it better to be replaced. I want to ask his opinion about which brand that it good for heater."
Hearing the reason Haruna soften her demeanor, her polite smile returned "I see... I'm sorry for accusing you like that then."
"It's okay." Yui replied swiftly "I know what you trying to do, and I also agree. Emiya-san kindness has been too often to be taken advantage by other."
"You're right." Haruna not even bother to hold her sigh as she let it out "I'm glad you also think like that Kotegawa-san. Very well the, I will tell Emiya-kun if he enter school today."
"Thank you Sairenji-san." Yui said with polite nod "Then, I will take my leave."
Haruna watched as the raven haired class representative walk away, leaving from her class
"Wow... She really have it bad huh?"
Haruna turned behind and see one of her friends, Risa Momioka who grinning like cheshire cat while staring at Yui that leaving
"Better raise your game fast Haruna, it seems Strict Lady going to raise hers." Rias added, her grin now shoot at her
"Risa!" Haruna squeaked a bit, her voice turned to slight red
"What?! You know I'm true! I mean, you have know him for how long?! A year?! But until now you two still in 'last name' relationship!"
Haruna can't help but squirm under her friend gaze. The information that she has... Crush or attracted to Shirou Yuuki Emiya is not secret within her group -even Riko know this, she already have it ever since they in class together at middle school, the boy kind and gentle nature is very endearing in her opinion.
And yet... She still call Shirou by his last name... And so do he
"Risa, this isn't time to talk about this!" She muttered, eyes glancing around and she glad no one seems paying attention to them
"Agree Haruna, this isn't place to talk about this Risa." Mio Sawada, one of Haruna friends chimed in and give her busty friend admonishing look "We can't have our Haruna secret love exposed to everyone." She said with teasing grin
"Mio!"
Both girls giggle in humor at their friend red face
"But I also agree with Risa, Haruna." Mio added while give look to her this time "You and You-Know-Who has known each other for year, yet, you still calling each other with last name! That was no improvement at all Haruna! Even Risa here call Emiya-kun with first name!"
"You right I did!" Risa puffed her chest in prideful manner
Haruna only can bury her face to her palms at that. Okay, she admit Risa does have point in there. She has known Emiya-kun for more than year, yet there no improvement! Heck! Despite their status as friend but they far away from close!
"Although Emiya-kun call Risa by last name. So it not counted much." Mio added
"Hey!" Risa protested in slight indignant
"But then again, it was good things actually Haruna and Emiya not that close in past." Mio continued, ignoring her friend protest as rubbing her chin "If you too close to him when he young, you can get friend-zoned. But if you close to him when he at high school and know romance..."
"So that what your plan!" Risa gasped dramatically, eyes wide and give Haruna accusing look "Haruna, I didn't know you can be so sly like that!"
Both girls openly laugh at Haruna face that resemble tomato and sputtering incoherently. This make Haruna cry a little inside, one of things that maker her miss Riko presence, if there's no the orange haired girl then it will be her who got teased by Risa and Mio!
"And if you want to play your game, you better do it soon Haruna." Mio said with teasing smirk "There other girls who wish to win his hand after all."
Shirou Yuuki Emiya actually can be said as one of the most popular guy in Sainan. It not because he's handsome or what actually. Okay, he maybe have good look, but it actually nowhere can be classified as model from magazine. What make he popular is his personality
Kind, respectful, polite, and gentle
That was what the best words for him. Everyone in school, be it teacher, staff or students, all of them respect Shirou and always be polite to him. Even if there those who dislike him and polite only so can ask help from him, but it was agreed by everyone that at least Shirou Yuuki Emiya is a guy who deserve to be respected
However... There one flaw in his personality... And yes, it was his kindness actually
By any mean, no one will dare to said that Shirou Yuuki Emiya is wimpy guy. He is one of the most bravest person in school, he has stand directly facing senior year who bully junion without showing any hint of fear.
No, that's not the problem. What matter is, Shirou is too... Easy to giving in... He treat everyone as equal, helping each of them, and during that time he was... Professional when did it. It almost like a job, a job that pleasant and not at same time... Almost like a routine he did everyday...
And despite his kind and gentle personality but Shirou is not the most social person. There seems always awkward moment when alone with him, unless you kind of guy/girl who enjoy silence
Something that very uncommon actually
A sound of bag dropped softly to table near them halted the trio conversation. They all turned and see Riko place her bag and pulling her chair
"Hm?" Riko notice the looks the trio give to her and responded "Morning everyone."
"Well, well, look who decide to grace us with her presence." Risa said in haughty voice
"Your Highness Riko-sama herself." Mio continued with grin "Welcome back to School, Princess."
Riko eyebrow twitched at the teasing remark from her friends, especially the last one, it not helping her current situation "Shut up you two." She huffed as she slumped down to her seat
"Riko, where were you and Emiya-kun yesterday?" Haruna asked in instant, her face expressing concern "I tried to call you and even send you message but there no response."
Riko troubled face turn to apologetic as she notice Haruna worried look "I'm sorry Haruna-chan, there... Family matter yesterday and..." She paused for moment before letting out sigh "Let just say it was quite ruckus yesterday."
"Family matter?" Risa who teasing moment ago now also put slight concerning look to her friend "Is everything okay Riko-chan?"
"Well..." Riko bit her lip in unsure manner "Everything is okay actually but... Let just say yesterday was very... Shocking."
Actually, shocking did not even do justice to what happened yesterday. Seriously, there should be new word to express just how mind-boggling the news they get!
"Bad way or good way?" Mio asked, there also slight concern in her voice
"... Both." Riko answered after moment of pause. She then shake her head "But everything is okay. It just shock and surprising news, that's all. No any harm done."
Haruna frown a bit hearing that, she then begin to looking around and notice certain student was not present "Riko, where's Emiya-kun?"
"Shirou? He went to headmaster to take care something."
"Something?" Risa asked
Riko feel sweat from the back of her neck, she open her mouth to reply and-
""Liar."" Risa and Mio said simultaneously in dull tone
"I'm not even say a single word yet!" Riko yelled comically
"Yeah, but you didn't deny it you try to lie." Mio pointed easily, prompting the orange haired girl eyes to twitch
Riko throw up her hands in exasperation and groaned "Fine! I will tell you but later okay?! Not now."
""Sure~~~!"" Mio and Risa chorused in sing-song voice, all while grinning cheekily
"You two." Haruna give them admonishing look "Stop bullying Riko. She have her own privacy." She said in lecturing manner, making the duo to grimace a bit "Riko, if you didn't want to tell us then it's fine."
"No, I mean. It won't be secret for long anyway." Riko said with sigh "So it better if I explain it first. I will tell the story later when break okay?"
"If you say so."
"Oh, and Haruna-chan." Riko face suddenly turn to serious, making the purplette blinked. She then place her hands on her shoulders and stared at her eyes with intense, as if trying to make hole in there
"R-Riko?"
"Whatever happen, know that Shirou doesn't have any choice. And you still have very BIG chance to win him! As his sister, I support you to be with him!" She declared in voice that resemble Pope spoke words of God to his followers
"...Eh?"
Haruna only can blinked owlishly in response
It happen when the Lunch Break just started; five minutes precisely
Riko, Haruna, Mio and Risa was on their way to canteen to find good place to talk about what happen yesterday when the first heard it from group of male students that gossiping while walking in fast pace
"Didn't you hear? There foreigner about our age currently walking around!"
"Really? Is it boy or girl?"
"It was girl! I heard she's hot and cute!"
"How cute and hot we talking about?"
"Like a supermodel from magazine! Heck! She even have pink hair!"
"Wow! Then let's go check on her!"
Risa blinked while glancing at the boys that fasten their pace and out from their sight "A foreigner eh? And cute one as well." She whistled
"A transfer student maybe?" Mio guessed while also giving look to where the boys moment ago
"In time like this?" Haruna blinked in bewilderment "I don't think so." This maybe still early semester but... "Isn't it kind of late to have new student?"
In reply of that, Mio and Risa shoot Haruna deadpan look "With Principal like ours? Yeah.." The first snorted, prompting the purplette to cringe
Okay, Mio have point in there. The principal often to accept new students after all, even if it in middle of semester, as long he/she proved to be smart to able follow the recent class despite entering only in short time and can show their worth through grade
"What do you think about this Riko?" Risa asked, only to blink when notice her friend look like just struck by some kind of disease
"No... It can't be..." Riko murmured with shaky voice
She wouldn't! Lala-san wouldn't! Shirou tell her to stay at home and wait for them if she want sightseeing around the earth!
Then, Riko remember the reason why Shirou meet principal this morning
"Riko, do you think Lala will stay home and do nothing while we in school? Trust me, sooner or later she will come to school and it better if she listed when that moment come."
Yeah... She agree with him, Lala clearly not look like someone who going to stay silent in one place. In her opinion, it seems she has been... Sheltered too much and now she have freedom obviously she won't miss any chance to look around
But still... Right now?!
"Riko?" Haruna called, breaking her from her stupor unconsciously
"We have to find Shirou!" Riko instantly said, there urgency in her voice
"Emiya-kun?" Haruna voice now turned to concern as well "What's wrong with Emiya-kun?"
Riko turned to her friends who look at her with questioning look and open her mouth, before she can say anything the door of one of the room near them slid open, getting their attention and they all see it was Shirou himself who come out
"Shirou!" Riko called, making her friends turn to him and getting his attention
"Riko?" Shirou blinked "I thought you said you going to canteen and-" He paused, his sharp eyes instantly caught his sister seems anxious "Is there something wrong?" He asked grimly
"Lala-san!" Riko answered in slight exasperated voice "I heard from students there some foreigner with pink hair walking around the school!"
Instantly Shirou also turned to slight pale, his solemn face changed to one that anxious as well "Where is she?" He asked in urgency. Great Gods, things already very complicated, please don't make it more complex now!
Far away from him, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg laugh his ass off
"Lala?" Risa butted in, sounding very interested "Riko, who's this Lala?"
"Ah..." Riko turned to them and she seems forget that they were there "Uhm... She is..."
"She's friend that currently stay in our house." Shirou said smoothly, helping his sister "Yesterday none of us enter the school because complicated things. You can say it because of her."
"Yes, yes!" Riko agreed hastily with nod "She's a friend that staying in our place! That's all!"
The way the girl emphasize the word 'friend' while glancing at Haruna briefly did not missed by everyone, even Shirou. He shoot questioning look to her for moment before turning to Haruna who seems confused as well, but only for moment before realization dawned in her eyes
Shirou tempted to ask her but now is not the time. If Lala is here, then it better to go to her before she did something that make him get unwanted attention and wrong impression from students
He about to ask Riko further about Lala when said, the person voice come from their front
"Shirou!"
Shirou turned and see Lala, the alien clad in her strange outfit -one that look like Peke's- with the students trailed behind her. The moment their eyes meet, the bubblegum haired girl's brightened and Shirou swear it was sparkling for moment
"Lala-omphf!"
He barely manage to utter his name before he suddenly found himself tackled by the alien that crossed the three meters distance between them in less than second.
"Shirou! Found you!"
And not just that, he feel his ribs creaking in protest, as matter of fact, his lung now seems got air inside them pushed out due to her ample chests pressed firmly to her
"A-Air! Lala! Air!" He gasped out
"Ah!" Lala seems realize what's he did and she release her grip, allowing Shirou to regain his composure. She stuck her tongue, closing one eye and make cute sheepish expression "Sorry, I forgot my own strength. Tee hee!"
Many male students swooned at the cuteness she display
'Tee hee my ass!' Shirou groaned as he inhale air for breathing. Whoever said hugged by firm boobs is the best thing for men clearly need to have their brain pummeled by hammer! Seriously! His lungs that lacked oxygen can testify that! "It's fine, it not that bad." He said with small smile to reassure her "Anyway Lala, what are you doing here? I told you to stay home."
Riko, her friends, and students that secretly follow her watched the interaction between the duo. Shirou look slight exasperated while the beauty face now turned to pout, a very cute pout
"But I'm bored! There's nothing in your house!"
"I lent Mikan's and Riko's game and manga to you. Shouldn't it be enough?"
"Yes, but... There's no you, I'm alone in there."
'Lucky bastard!' The male students cursed while glaring hole to Shirou
Haruna herself feel her breath hitched when hearing that
"Beside, I'm going to attend this school right?" Lala began to looking around with bright smile "So I decide to see it by myself to get know the interior better!"
Well... If she put it that way, her reason sounds merit actually
"If you want to you should ask Lala." Shirou allow himself to sigh a bit "Not need to come without telling us like this."
"I want to surprise you." Lala reasoned before she grinned "And it looks like working!"
"Oi Emiya!" One of students apparently have enough and decide to want to know what's going on "Who's she?"
"Yeah!" Risa chimed in "Who is she Shirou? And why she staying at your house?" She give small look to Haruna in here before returned to the man
Shirou turned to the audience, his face turned to polite smile like always "She's-"
"I'm Shirou fiancé!" Lala declared aloud with big smile and wrapped herself around Shirou arm
...
...
...
...
...
There silence that deafening in hallway for moment as everyone minds processing what Lala just said and when they done, needless to say...
""""""WHAAAAAAATTT?!"""""
It was uproar and chaos
"Fiancé?! Emiya?!"
"As if Emiya who always wandering around and fixing things?!"
"Impossible! Truly impossible!"
"The Janitor?!"
"I knew it! I knew there's reason why Emiya-kun not show any interest in relationship!"
"He have pretty fiancé all along!"
"Damn you Emiya!"
Mixture of negative and positive comments flew everywhere. Shirou pretty much sure by the end of Lunch Break everyone going to learn about this, which mean he have to say good bye to his peaceful life
"It's not like that!" Shirou instantly yelled, attempting to clear the situation and he get everyone attention "The thing is... It very complicated."
"Complicated?" Mio asked with quirking eyebrow
"Very complicated." Shirou added. And he didn't lie, it really very complicated "Look, Lala and I maybe engaged but at same time also no. Lala's father give our engagement a... Probation. If it did not meet his satisfaction then it would be null." He said aloud, staring at students with look "I said this aloud so there won't be any strange rumor about Lala and I, now if you all excuse me, I want to speak with Lala."
He tug Lala arm, pulling her with him and start walk away from the students. The alien seems happy at this as she allow Shirou to lead her away, she give glance to Riko who look dumbfounded and wave her hand at her
"Ah! Riko-chan! Hello! Bye Riko-chan!"
As the duo leave, the students slowly also began to disband, all while whispering to each other, talking about Sainan Fake Janitor relationship with the pink haired beauty
"Well..." Mio give look to Riko, hand slid down to her hip "Mind explaining Riko?"
"It's complicated." Riko said, repeating what Shirou said moment ago "Very complicated." She added meekly when Risa join the glare
"You Emiya sister alright." Risa snorted "Let explain this in lunch."
"So to summarize. That Lala girl is foreigner royalty who escape from her big daddy that tried to marrying her with pompous noble, and when she chased by her bodyguard to be returned Shirou decide to butt in without knowing the situation and save her, and now the girl in love with him and her father decide to give his daughter chance so she can marry someone she like."
"Yes." Riko nodded in confirmation
"And then because Shirou save her she fall in love with him decide he, and so in next six month Lala will try to win Shirou heart? If she can't then she going to be pulled back?"
"Yes."
"Well..." Risa rub her chin in thoughtful manner "Suck to be her."
"Risa!" Haruna chided instantly
"What?! It's true." Risa defend herself "I mean, having yourself forced to marry someone who you don't like. That was one of baddest dreams of most girls!"
"I agree with Risa in there." Mio nodded "I mean, being boyfriend and girlfriend is one thing, but marriage?" She shake her head "The scale were on different level."
Haruna refuse to make any comment but she inwardly also agree. Married mean you spend your life with someone for the rest of your life. Someone who going to be father of your children, someone who going to be there every morning you wake up and when you goes to bed in night.
It not easy thing actually... As a girl who have her parent life not at same place with her, and have her big sister not often in house, Haruna know just how lonely life sometime could be and it will be nice to spend time with someone you love
But if it not... Then, she sure things won't be good for both side...
So Haruna can see how uncomfortable Lala situation now. The pink haired girl must be under some kind of pressure from her father demand
"Then how Shirou respond?" Risa asked
Haruna feel her breath hitched for moment. She knew Shirou Yuuki Emiya is kind and person who always happy to help. And here now, Lala, a girl who need help in order to escape from her unpleasant future
She knew it was silly and stupid, there's no way it could happen. No matter how kind and helpful Shirou is but there no way he going that far to help someone. But her mind can't help but make her think it possible. There chance that Shirou Yuuki Emiya going to accept the engagement just to make sure Lala
"Well... Shirou seems also dislike the situation." Riko said, oblivious to Haruna inner turmoil "He didn't like it that Lala engaged to him, but it seems there very little he can do. It was actually depend on Lala, she's the one who pursue him after all. This far, Shirou did not show any sign he going to response her feeling equally."
The purplette feel her shoulder become more light and very relieved hearing that. Of course Shirou won't accept the engagement just like that, there limit of his kindness obviously
"Well... At least your chance with Shirou not diminished." Risa said with grin and teasing look to Haruna who blushed slightly
"I..." Haruna about to retort her friend but she found her voice freeze for moment "I don't know..." She muttered
"Haruna?" Mio blinked when noticing her friend voice change slightly, Riko and Risa as well as they pay attention more to her now
"I... I like Emiya-kun." Haruna admitted, face red "But... This... Lala... Lala-san. Her situation is seems so dire and..."
"Haruna, if you thinking to give up on Emiya-kun then I going to slap you." Mio said in strange voice
"Mio?"
"Listen, doesn't matter if Lala-san is in problem. So what? You had been waiting for years, ever since you were in Eight grade. And now because of this you going to give up just like that?" Mio asked with narrowed eyes
"Mio, Emiya-kun and I not even that close." Haruna sighed
"So? We going to make you two close!" Mio declared as she grab her friends shoulder and stare at her eyes "Don't you see? This is your chance!"
"Chance?"
"Don't you see how Lala-san behave? She's almost like a child and Emiya-kun seems troubled by her! He going to need someone to help him! And this is where your part come!"
"Agree!" Risa butted in with grin "You and Shirou going to dote Lala together! And while doing that he will notice you and thinking 'Wow, Haruna is really mature woman.', 'Haruna will be very good mother in future', then finally 'Haruna! You're the only woman that can understand me! Let's get married and bear my children!'!"
Haruna feel her face flushed as thought of Emiya-kun and her marrying with her belly swolled in pregnancy crossed in her mind
"See? You already imagining it!" Mio pointed as if can see her imagination
"W-Wha?!" Haruna stuttered "I-I'm not! I'm not imagining anything!" She lied weakly
""Liar!"" Risa and Mio chorused in response
Haruna sputter incoherently at her friends reply. Riko who watching can't help but let out giggle. Yeah, only with Haruna she can escape the duo teasing
"Hush you two!" Riko admonished mockingly "Stop pestering my sister-in-law!"
"Riko! You're not helping!"
Einzbern Consultation Room! Please Help Me Einzbern-sensei!
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome back everyone!" Illya chirped happily as she pacing around the desk "This is Illyasviel von Einzbern speaking!"
"And this is Miyu Edefelt." Miyu said as she bowed to the audience
"And this is Berserker!"
"▂▂▂▂▃▃▃▃▅▅▅▅!"
""Welcome back to Einzbern Consultation Room!"" They intoned with cheerful grin -smile in Miyu's case
"Fu, fu, fu." Illya let out wicked giggle, her crimson eyes briefly glowing with eerie light
"You seems quite cheerful." Miyu commented with raised eyebrow
"Of course I am! That fake loli today is not here!" Illya declared in pompous voice "Today the topic has no any relation with her at all! It's all about me!"
"Good for you, must be quite pleasant since you got totally insulted by her."
"Yes." Illya nodded, her cheerful smile still not leaving from her face "I'm totally satisfied!" Her smile then turned down a bit "Though I'm not got beaten by her!" She yelled
"Yes, you totally did. She overwhelm you and even get the last words."
"W-Wha?! She did not!" Illya sputtered as she turned and glare to Miyu "It just, yesterday it was her specialty! How could you said that to me Miyu?!"
The Edefelt only can blink in bewilderment "I... I didn't said anything." She said in confused voice
"What you mean you didn't said anything?!" Illya demanded with scowl "You just said it moment ago!"
"I'm not, Illya, I was neating the question from reviewer." Miyu gestured to pack of paper that she hold and place them in table
This make Illya blinked as well "B-But! I swear I hear your voice and-"
"And Nemesis is here everyone, how you all do?" Nemesis asked above the board, her size now only as small as finger with butterfly wing sprout from her back
"YOU!" Illya screamed, face turned to rage at the sight of her... Nemesis "WHY YOU HERE?!"
"Why? Because I'm needed of course." Nemesis answered in silky voice as she enlarge herself and land in floor with soft 'thump'
"Needed?! And why you needed?! Today topic is not related to you! I can explain it better by myself!"
"Actually, Nemesis-san needed." Miyu chimed in as she hold certain review "In his or her review, FATEMURDER ask Nemesis-san about Old Deviluke."
Illya snatched the paper away from Miyu and read it. Her face set to mixture of distaste and content "On one hand I love this guy or gal because he or she ask me too but on other hand..." She trailed with grumble. Shaking her head she throw the paper away and give small glare to Nemesis who looking smug "Alright then! Let answer all question from the review and get into topic!"
"Fu, fu, fu. Let me answer then." Nemesis started as she step forward "To answer your question is, some maybe yes. However please noted that right now Gid Deviluke is the strongest Devilukean, no one can beat him in point blank battle, you all see how terrifying he is when he facing my canon counterpart, she strikes him from all direction at same time but that man swoop and block all of them easily
"So no. Right now, there's no Old Devilukean that can match him, it can be said that Gid Lucione Deviluke is the strongest Devilukean, a race that has control over whole Galaxy. Currently no one can beat him in fair fight or at least in one on one battle
"As for Zastin. He's strong, Zastin is undoubtedly strong, but he actually not as strong as Gid. There may be few Old Devilukean whose stronger than Zastin, but even so they not stupid enough to tackle and face him alone. Zastin is good, and he smart enough to know if he outmatched, he can call reinforcement to aid him." Nemesis finished her explanation
"My turn now!" Illya instantly step forward, she pushing the tan skinned girl roughly. The living weapon only give her look of amusement rather than offended "For your question FATEMURDER, yes, using Structural Analysis on Alien Technolgy is affecting Shirou. However it won't be as bad as when he staring at EA, the reason will be explained when we talk about the topic today!"
"My, what a short answer." Nemesis muttered snidely with smirk
"Shut up you bitch!" Illya yelled at her
"And as for the question for me." Miyu butted in before the duo can arguing as she step forward "The battle between Gid and Shirou won't be soon unfortunately. No, there's no point for Gid right now to visit Shirou. Let just say Shirou indeed manage to give some impression to him but it still far from enough for him to come personally and visit our protagonist
"Make no mistake though, in future there will be confrontation between Gid and Shirou but like I said, it will be quite time before they meet personally." Miyu finished
"Hmph, even your assistant have more line than you." Nemesis commented with smirk "I guess your rating started to go down."
A vein popped on Illya forehead, if look can kill then the living weapon already dead thousand times
"Talk all you want Nemesis." Illya sneered "But right now is not time for you to shine! It's mine!" Illya cheered happily as she turned to audience with bright smile "There another question from XxOmNiPoTent PriMorDial GodxX regarding about Gilgamesh compared to Gid and Zastin. And the answer is, yes Gilgamesh can beat Zastin and Gid." She said in solemn voice
"Zastin, the answer is obvious. While he's indeed powerful but Gilgamesh is not weakling. He still Heroic Spirit, someone who have stronger body far from Human, his physiology can be said better than most Devilukean, and with Gate of Babylon... Well you know how bullshit that thing
"As for Gid... Well, this actually complicated... It can't be said that Gilgamesh stronger than Gid, no. In physical strength, endurance, speed, obviously Gid surpass Gilgamesh, dare I said Gid surpass even Berserker in that aspect
"However no matter how strong Gid is, a direct hit from EA will kill him." Illya stated firmly
"Sword that even capable to tear the Reality and the World." Nemesis muttered with smirk, there gleam in her eyes "Imagine what I could do if I have such level of weapon in my hand." She said in dreamy tone as she imagine holding Ea
Yeah... It would be very beautiful...
"And the universe will end." Illya deadpanned "Anyway, so the answer is yes. Gilgamesh can beat Gid, however if they fight it will be different matter seeing both of them is quite... Similar in personality."
"I think Gid-san is clearly more... Nice than Gilgamesh." Miyu commented
"Please." Nemesis snorted "If what I heard about Gilgamesh is right then they clearly very similar." She said "You all read in canon that he's good guy because he recognize his own daughter when my counterpart disguised as princess Momo and care to them, yes. But did any of you forget that he almost blow up the whole Earth with everyone inside it because Rito refuse to marry Lala?
"The only reason he didn't do that is because Lala's. So yes, he love his daughter but it doesn't change the fact he not give a shit about Earth even if he have fun for moment in there and only few minutes away from blowing it up."
"Well... If you put it that way..." Miyu trailed with grimace
"So the battle between Gid and Gilgamesh is one that actually can't be said which one would be the winner." Illya continued with nod "It can be said it will be like trying to stab invincible shield using spear that able to penetrate anything."
"And for you who say that Shirou Yuuki Emiya capable to beat Gilgamesh so he should be able to beat Gid. Well, if any of you forget, Shirou didn't. Gilgamesh never serious when facing him and even in UBW, Shirou is saved by hole of Grail, he already out of Mana and vulnerable. If Gilgamesh serious then Shirou won't stand a chance, at all." Nemesis butted in, earning glare from Illya "And when he facing Gid, who not use Gate of Babylon but his own body... Well, the fight clearly going to be different."
"In any case, the question already answered!" Illya shoot distaste look to Nemesis who chuckle behind her hand "The Author, WWBG want to say thanks to 98kazer for giving idea for UBW chant. To response of your question, yes. Shirou will able to use UBW but now? Not yet, I already explain why in chapter 3." She said before she pull chalk "Anyway, let start the topic today!" She declared as she write the board
[Gaia in To Love-Rouverse]
"This is our topic today, Gaia in To Love-Rouverse." Illya said as she tap the word with stick "As you all know, in Nasuverse, Gaia role is very big. She's the one who responsible for Magecraft not as effective as one in Age of Gods anymore, Dead Apostle -beast that hunting Mankind- existence, and many things. Shirou Magecraft is prime example of this as everything he Project and Trace can't be real thing because Gaia reject their existence, same things occur to other Magecraft since they perform Thaumaturgy in her 'body' technically
"However in here, in this universe. Let just say 'Gaia' is very different. Before you ask, yes, Gaia still exist in here. However having aliens and many lifeform that come to visit her more than in Nasuverse change her perspective.
"That's reason why Shirou's Magecraft is better than the one in Nasuverse. Gaia in here different than the Nasuverse. Thanks to many aliens existence she's more... Adaptable. The Spiritual Energy that reside in Earth canon of To Love-Ruverse that allow Train to load his guns during battle is enough to support this theory. You can say that Energy is something that produced by Gaia adapting to many life form in Earth."
"So... Shirou will able to use Structural Analysis to Alien technology?" Miyu asked
"Question from FATEMURDER moment ago, yes." Illya nodded as she looking at the audience "The answer is yes, Shirou indeed can cast Structural Analysis to Alien technology, however when he did this, it won't be comfortable for him. Why? Let put it like this, in your whole life you have knowledge over almost all material in the World. You know how they work and how they function
"Then suddenly, you shoved something that... Unknown. Myserious. Illogical. Impossible. How it make you feel? Shirou react like all Human, stay away from it and try his best to ignore it.
"Yes, he can read them, but he clearly not going to like it and it make him uncomfortable. It also going to make his brain go fuzzy. So sadly, no, there won't be sudden power up for Shirou.
"But I give you one clue." Illya grinned in here "Shirou Origin and Element is Sword, and it make him very compatible with Swords. He can even copy Excalibur, Sword that, made from people's conception, legends weaved only out of hope. Sword that is not a myth or inhuman work, but a "crystal trained by the heart alone", making it reign as strongest fantasy.
"Sword that declared as the crystallization of the prayer named "glory". Granted Shirou can't Trace the perfect one but the fact he even able to recreate part of such inhumane and unrealistic element is proof that he's very compatible with sword.
"So if you ask, does Shirou can copy Zastin Light Photon Sword, the answer is yes. Yes, he can. As long it is sword and it existence is not fully unreal, yes... And it take time, yes, he also need time to create or registering one in his Reality Marble because it was 'alien' and he can't just recreate the element."
"So, spears, guns, technology and Lala-san's inventions is big no to Shirou but swords is still tolerable?" Miyu asked in summarizing manner
"Yup." Illya nodded in confirmation
"He need time to create or registering Photon Sword of Zastin you said, so it mean Shirou Yuuki Emiya going to freeze like when he saw Ea when he confront Photon Sword." Nemesis make other conclusion in thoughtful manner
Illya eyebrow twitched hearing her antagonist in her show speak but give begrudging nod "Yes." She gritted out
"Then it also safe to assume whenever Shirou see alien swords he will went through similar occurence?"
"... Yes."
"That's..." Miyu frowned at the answer "That's clearly quite disadvantage for Shirou."
"You can say so." Illya said with sigh "No power without consequence after all." She stated
"Hmm, a wise words from little girl." Nemesis commented with snort
Illya glared at Nemesis "Shut up you fake little girl! You just jealous to me! We all knew the fan love me more than you." She stated in smug voice "If I recall there many who chiding you for dare said mean thing to me! Mr/Ms DrackNath, Mr/Ms and Mr ENDDRAGON369 said it aloud." She said happily before turning to the audience "Thank you Onii-chan or Onee-chan for helping me!"
"Hmm indeed..." Nemesis mused as she read the note with small scowl
"And unlike you who were failure." Illya jeered at her "And abandoned! Papa not abandon me, don't you read people review?! Papa trying to save me even if his body fail him!"
Nemesis quirk her eyebrow at that, then smirk crossed to her face, she seems not offended being insulted by very amused "Really? You not abandoned? Are you sure about that."
"I'm sure!" Illya retorted "Didn't the review told you enough?! I'm sure the big guy also telling you about this! You just in denial!"
"Oh I already know about your father trying to save you after he cause the Fuyuki Fire." Nemesis brushed easily, her smirk curled to small grin "When I speak about abandon you that wasn't what I mean." She chuckled "I talking about her existence."
"... Me?" Miyu blinked as she pointed to herself
"What Miyu relation with this?!" Illya demanded as she narrowed her eyes in slight confusion but keep her face sharp
"Everything." Nemesis said easily with smirk as she staring at Miyu "Tell me Edefelt. You come from Fate Kaleid/Linear right?"
"Yes." Miyu answered "And please don't bring me into your argument." She added dully "Right now we have-"
"And you, you come from Fate Stay/Night and went through Holy Grail war correct?" Nemesis continued as she ignoring Miyu and turned to Illya this time
"Yes." Illya snapped "What's your point?!"
Nemesis let out chuckle of mirth "You still don't get it? Look at her!" She gestured to Miyu again "She come from another World, a World where there you, you who live as Magical Girl." She snicker a bit in here "A World where Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern live."
Illya feel her breath hitched in her lungs for second
"Uh-oh..." Miyu muttered as she take few steps away from Illya
"In there, the Fourth Holy Grail War never occur because Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern stop it from happen. They stop it because of your counterpart, because Kiritsugu in there choose over his family than his impossible and foolish dream." Nemesis emphasized the words of family with very sweet tone "The Illyasviel von Einzbern in there, is one who truly not abandoned. But you, your father abandon you in hand of Einzbern family. He knew what going happen to you had he fail in Grail War, he knew what that old guy going to do to you but he still did it.
"Yes, it's true he trying to save and get you back. But it doesn't change that he abandon you in first place, unlike Illya in Edefelt universe who choosen over his dream. So no matter what, even if he trying his best, crying blood while doing so, but it doesn't change that you was not his top priority. Doesn't change the fact your father choose to pursue his dream rather than you, which mean he still abandon you."
"BERSERKER!"
"▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅!
Miyu watched as the massive behemoth moved. With speed that faster than sound, the Demigod tackle the living weapon and crashed to window, destroying the furnitur and sending both of them fall from there
"I'm going to stitch that bitch mouth." Illya said coldly as she jumped through the hole in window, following her Servant who fighting the menace below
"... I... The explanation..."
Miyu was loss of words judging by how her mouth gaping and closing few times as she stared at the hole in the wall.
"Well..." She let out sigh as she turned to audience "I guess this is it for today everyone, it seems Illya now have her own business and can't close the show."
BOOM! BOOM! BANG! BANG!
"KILL HER BERSERKER! CRUSH HER!"
"Temper little princess, fu, fu, fu. You really have-whoops! That was close one!"
BAAAAM! BOOOM!
"Yeah... She clearly busy." Miyu muttered while glancing to the hole in the wall. She can feel the room now shaking due to the clash of monsters outside "Anyway, if you still have question just ask about it through review or PM, we make sure going to answer it." She said with smile and bow to audience "This is Miyu Edefelt, please give this story more Favorite, Follow, and Review. See you all in next chapter."
I want to apologize to all fans, be it from this story or the other for not updating recently. I'm currently busy, and I mean really busy, I already finish my study and now become assistant for doctor in hospital, and by God I have very small time to write fanfiction
And it not helping that my imagination and idea started to degraded, no thanks for taking care patient and get bad senior who dump most his work to me if it not important! Good Lord! Why?! Why you destroy my fantasy to have beautiful and gentle senior doctor?! Hic!
And sometime... Well, it actually one of the biggest reason... It was taking care of dead people... God, it was... A bit morbid and horrible actually, I had seen cadaver when still studying and even see fresh one but seeing someone that died in front of you...
It was... Disturbing, really...
Anyway, let move on from this topic and went to story
So, yeah. Illya already explain things that asked by many people about 'Spirit' Energy in To Love-Ru verse.
There nothing much to say actually since Illya already explain much, thank you Illya-chan!
And about Haruna... Well she's not OOC in my opinion, Haruna is kind girl and she knew which is more important and top priority, there reason she's Class Representative in Rito First Year after all
I'm sure you caught something amiss from Haruna friends. Well if you can make at least guess about it then I will give small spoiler to you xD
Well, I guess this is it. Next chapter we will be back to Shirou POV and see how he handling students who bombard him about Lala!
Ja Ne! XD
